At what point will this work across set-top boxes like Amazon Fire or Tivo? If somebody could plunk $100 on an Amazon Fire and use this, that would really put Steam Boxes out to pasture before they're even out of the womb.

Don't see how that can be true. Besides Transistor (which I bought yesterday), I've bought fewer than five games this year, and only one of those was a new release. This has been a terrible year for games.

No. It is plodding, filled with insubstantial human drama, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is a bad actor. The monsters have zero personality and the whole thing just isn't any fun, which at least Pacific Rim had going for it. Absolutely not worth it for the ~five minutes of actual monster battling.

Unlikely. More likely they thought that all these new changes would be well received, and when they weren't, they spent additional millions fixing the game. Millions that they'd rather not have spent and just shipped the game people would have bought and loved in the first place.

How have you drawn that conclusion? Millions? To make some GUI changes and adjust loot tables? And most of these changes, rather conveniently, coincided with the release of Reaper of Souls.

And you're out of your god damn mind if you believe Blizzard felt they were releasing the successor to Diablo II fans wanted. They knowingly monetized the shit out of their game, and they didn't do it for love of their fans.

But I genuinely think Blizzard realizes how much they screwed up and knows exactly how and where.

Who says they screwed anything up? D3 sold boatloads. And once RMAH sales dwindled (assuming they did), they shut it down, and amass players (like myself) who had refused to buy the game in its shipped state.

So what is Valve supposed to do with an obviously unfinished product still being sold on their storefront? You can say caveat emptor all you want but at the end of the day everything that is on Steam is on Valve's shoulders.
